Hi All,
Been a while since I posted so I thought I'd keep you up to date with my meager efforts. I feel very amateur when I read some of your posts.

However, the new bed I dug out of the lawn is mainly brasicas, as you can see, I have had mixed results. The weedy plants halfway down are cauliflower, I planted the seedlings out to early I think they have come to nothing, been like that for weeks, the Purple Broccoli in the foreground and the Greyhound cabbage are going strong. I kept a few collie plants back in the greenhouse for a few weeks extra, they are OK. Have another bed out of shot planted with red Pak-choi, seem to be growing strong like weeds :) and of course there are the salads growing away all around in the flower boarders as well as my usual 'Sungold Toms'.

French climbing beans (Cobra) and potato bags are doing well, just peeping out behind the first bag is a container with carrots in it.

Greenhouse, red peppers and tomatoes in the rings, my over plant on the staging, a shame, they will probably go to wast?

Remember, a few months back I asked a question of some supermarket potatoes that had gone to seed, the greenhouse/french bean shot shows they are growing. However, there was one potato that had half a dozen long shoots and loads of fine root. It was suggested, cut the tuba carefully and plant them . . . this is the result, they look healthy enough to me?

This was part of the original divided tuba:

Dear CJS, congratulations on your very good headway, it looks as if the gardening bug is starting to bite. :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
